    The transition from flying a plane to steering a four-wheeled armored truck to shooting a gun in first-person view is smooth, addicting, and, best of all, keeps the pace of the action consistent enough for you to be involved to the very end. [July 2002, p.74]

    We've played "Starfighter" and "Ace Combat 4" and they are both excellent titles, but if you want to be engrossed in a battle that looks great and plays like you always wanted a game to play, Dropship is certainly for you.

    Stunning visuals, spectacular gameplay, and a realistic plot.

    A compelling game which, once you get over the at times steep learning curve, will keep you very happy, as the action is superb.

    Innovative, exciting, and once you look past the visuals (which aren't really awful, just plain), a truly great game to play.

    A peculiar game, a very specialist title more like a true flight-sim then the arcade games we’re used to on consoles, yet the controls have been thought about to ensure its accessibility.

    This game is hard – it starts out tough and gets tougher from there. [June 2002, p.98]

    Sometimes it’s tedious work, but don’t let that fool you into thinking that playing sky taxi isn’t rewarding.

    In essence, as military combat games go, Dropship is the jack-of-all-trades, master-of-none kind.

    While the game is certainly impressive on a technical level, some elements of its graphical presentation seem somewhat primitive when viewed against current standards.

    Much like the plane you pilot, Dropship isn't a very pretty or elegant beast; but if you want some good airborne action, it gets the job done. [August 2002, p.78]

    Very steep difficulty curve, but makes you come back for more. A unique premise that is done fairly well. The game tends to lean towards beingVery steep difficulty curve, but makes you come back for more. A unique premise that is done fairly well. The game tends to lean towards being unfair towards the player at times, but they are pretty few and far between. A unique game in a genre dominated by Ace Combat and similar titles. Worth a purchase.… Full Review »
